i think deezer has no problem

my friend s bot using deezer's api

[compact grove]

Then your friend‘s bot probably violates Deezer‘s TOS…

The Developer undertakes to inform by any means any person accessing the Content through the Webpages and/or Personal Applications of its conditions of use and notably that the streaming of the recordings is limited to a strictly private use within a family scope.

Discord is not family scope

damn i will inform him

[tame hamlet]

I didn't understand how to make my music bot. Can't I use an api? Can you help?

[compact grove]

You plan to play music on a public place. So you either need music that isn’t copyrighted, need the permission of the artist to use their music or need to pay licensing fees.

We don’t support TOS violations… so keep these kinds of remarks out of support posts

[fresh geode]

making a discord music bot is against the discord tos

He can use others api, not YouTube tho

[compact grove]

They can use any official API. It‘s just that most APIs (including YouTube) don‘t actually have an endpoint to get the actual audio stream.

euh yes

im not sure but i think using lavalink is ok

idk if it use yt tho

[compact grove]

lavalink is used to distribute the audio, not a source of actual audio itself ignore me. I’m wrong. It has support for TOS violations in it.

[warm skiff]

try spotify

[compact grove]

Spotify has no API for playing their music…

[molten eagle]

you dont know that

a private discord server with 2 people qualifies as family scope and fair usage as well

[molten eagle]

Assuming you're making it for a small server, you can use https://github.com/SwapnilSoni1999/spotify-dl

youtube isn't going to care if you're not making it commercially available

[compact grove]

No, it still violates yt TOS. Just because they won’t prosecute you won’t change that. So stop suggesting TOS violations
